Description: "You are what you eat. That saying may make you wonder about the characters in this acclaimed, offbeat comedy. [...]
Winner of Best Film honors at the Chicago International Film Festival, Delicatessen is like a modern comic book come to live-action screen life (the filmmakers cite cartoonist Tex Avery and ex-animator-turned-filmmaker Terry Gilliam as influences). Its crazy-quilt story takes place in a rickety apartment building. There, a sweet-natured clown takes a room and becomes a catalyst in the lives of a cleaver-wielding butcher, his myopic daughter, a woman with a flair for suicide, toymakers who create little boxes that go 'moo,' and other unusual tenants."
